Best Lightweight Sport Coat Ever!!
I purchased this jacket for a one month stay in Ireland. It was absolutely perfect for the weather there. I really put it to the test, wearing it everywhere from the city to country. Above all, it NEVER wrinkled despite being rolled up, crushed, rained on, etc. Absolutely amazing!
The multiple pockets were terrific for travel with secure places for passport, phone as well most daily needs.
If you're looking for a durable, attractive and utilitarian warm weather sport coat for casual as well as semi-formal use, you won't do better that this jacket.

Long is way too long
I have worn a 46 long for years and the fit for a traditional cut jacket or suit is pretty much perfect right off of the rack. This jacket, however was easily two inches too long in the sleeves - and mind you, I wear a 35 inch sleeve length. Anyway - I really liked the look of the jacket, so returned it for a 46 regular in hopes that the regular will fit me like a long traditionally does. I'm waiting for delivery.

Silk Matka Sport Coat
I ordered a 46R coat and was amazed at how tight it was. I have other Travel Smith 46R sport coats I have had for years that fit very well. The silk Matka is not true to size and fits very tight. It appears to be of reasonable quality. I am returning it for a larger size, 48R, but I fear the other proportions on the coat will be out of wack. This is a lot of hassle for a size matter that I would expect to be a no brainer.

Handsome and strong
Got this sport coat for my scientist husband who travels frequently for business and insists on wearing a backpack - which is very hard on most jackets. This jacket looks good with both trousers and jeans, doesn't wrinkle, and has held up well.

Terrible Fit
44 Regular was very tight across chest and sleeves were at least 1 1/2 inches too long. Bought another sport coat at the same time and it was a great fit...also 44 Regular.

Great Travel Jacket
Just when I was about to give up in buying a SC on line I found the Matka. Does not wrinkle, looks great and comes in many true sizes including short, regular and long. Better coordinated fabric on the inside pockets would have made the overall rating a five. All-in all, well done TravelSmith!

Great looking and good fit except sleve length
This is a very nice jacket. But the sleeves on the 40R were a little too long. I liked the coat enough to keep it and have the sleeves altered.
